However, the Hg2+ detection of CDs was limited because of the insufficient water solubility, low fluorescence and poor stability.Methods: Dual fluorescence emission water-soluble CD (Dual-CD) was prepared through a solvothermal method from holly leaves and low toxic PEI1.8k. PEG was further grafted onto the surface to improve the water solubility and stability.Results: The Dual-CD solution can emit 487 nm and 676 nm fluorescence under single excitation and exhibit high quantum yield of 16.8%. The fluorescence at 678 nm decreased remarkably while the emission at 470 nm was slightly affected by the addition of Hg2+. The ratiometric Hg2+ detection had a wide linear range of 0– 100 μM and low detection limit of 14.0 nM. In A549 cells, there was a good linear relation between F487/F676 and the concentration of Hg2+ in the range of 0– 60 μM; the detection limit was 477 nM. Furthermore, Dual-CD showed visual fluorescence change under Hg2+.Conclusion: Dual-CD has ratiometric responsiveness to Hg2+ and can be applied for quantitative Hg2+ detection in living cells.Keywords: chlorophyll, polyethyleneimine, polyethylene glycol, ratiometric Hg2+ detection, A549 cellsWang PYan YZhang YGao TJi HGuo SWang KXing JDong YDove Medical Pressarticlechlorophyllpolyethyleneiminepolyethylene glycolratiometric hg2+ detectiona549 cellsMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of Nanomedicine, Vol Volume 16, Pp 2045-2058 (2021) |
